536 Brewers at Prenton park.

536 Brewers at Prenton park.

That's surprisingly good for Burton. (no offence intended)

 

[Grecian O'Grecian]

584 City fans at Cheltenham.

None taken. It is good. All the part time Derby fans have come back now they keep losing

 

[EricSabin]

Surprisingly good for Exeter

 

[Judge Dredd]

908 Pompey at Kingsmeadow.

How is that possible? I thought we had the maximum allocation and it was only 820-something?

 

[Murphy]

That's incredibly poor

Not when you consider it's almost 15% (or there abouts) of our home support. We only travel in significant numbers to Barnet, Orient or Southend anyway.

We had about 900 there from memory. It depends how the seats behind the goal are segregated.

You had 827 at Kingsmeadow.

 

[Alan Partridge]

There was a few Motherwell to boost Morecambe's numbers for some reason...

 

[northstandexile]

487 Yorkies at Accy
317 Staggies at the Pool
521 Exiles at Home Park
359 Oxford at the meadow

Ah ok, dunno where I got that from then.....!

But the away area does vary in size, n'est ce pas?

 

[Wombletom]

Yeah. You are correct
The away allocation varies from game to game, depending on the seating allocation

It's a maximum of 200 seats plus the terracing, which I believe is around the 750 mark.

 

[Grecian O'Grecian]

Surprisingly good for Exeter

Well, it is one of our closer matches.

 

[EricSabin]

We only got 790!

 

[Wombletom]

We only got 790!

All I can say to that is that you probably didn't take up your full seat allocation. Don't take this as gospel, as I don't know the negotiations that went on between the clubs.

 

[EricSabin]

We were told 790 was our full and final allocation

 

[Richard Cranium]

Does anyone have a list of the average number for each team this season?

 

[Bartonyellow]

there we go, we can take more than a taxi full away .........

 

[Richard Cranium]

None taken. It is good. All the part time Derby fans have come back now they keep losing

That is a massive shame

 

[northstandexile]

Does anyone have a list of the average number for each team this season?

It is not 100% accurate as a few estimates but not far out

1226 Luton Town
1063 Portsmouth
684 Plymouth Argyle
635 Southend United
518 Northampton Town
510 Oxford United
509 Shrewsbury Town
505 Cambridge United
478 Carlisle United
458 Tranmere Rovers
435 Wycombe Wanderers
435 AFC Wimbledon
392 York City
375 Bury
368 Exeter City
338 Newport County
330 Mansfield Town
240 Burton Albion
236 Stevenage
194 Cheltenham Town
194 Hartlepool United
149 Dagenham & Redbridge
136 Morecambe
98 Accrington Stanley

I suppose this order isn't to far out with regards to that thread on 'biggest clubs' etc

 

[Richard Cranium]

478 from Carlisle is an outstanding effort.

 

[Arbury]

478 from Carlisle is an outstanding effort.

My thoughts exactly, with the season they've had that really is a good number, fair play.

 

[EricSabin]

Got a lot of London based supporters haven't they?

 

[Shrimpurh]

Our number will fall with the remaining away fixtures we have coming up lol
Bury, Hartlepool, Exeter, Morecambe, only a few miles for those fixtures

 

[Shrew_fan]

Ours should increase a bit I would imagine. We should take biggish followings to Mansfield and Bury and will definitely sell out Cheltenham. Not sure how many will travel down to Portsmouth this weekend but would hope for at least 500 as the bigger clubs/grounds tend to attract larger followings.

 

[cufc17]

Got a lot of London based supporters haven't they?

Wouldn't say 'a lot', we do have a London supporters club but not masses of fans.

Think the reason ours is quite high is the attendances we get at nearish games - 1800 at Morecambe, 1200 at York, 800 at Bury, 1000 at Hartlepool

 

[EricSabin]

Ours should rise, Wimbledon, Stevenage, Oxford and Burton left. Cracking last few away games.

 

[Judge Dredd]

Ours will fall a bit for sure, got Northampton which is restricted to sub-1000, Tranmere on Easter Monday when trains are basically just not an option so that'll be way below 1000 too. Dagenham on a Tuesday which will be full if we are still in the mix, definitely not full if we have dropped off by then, so depends on results. Likewise Southend, although as that's our last away game and on a Saturday I expect we'll fill the allocation regardless of our prospects at that point.

 

[Laker]

We've got a reasonable mix of away games left:

Hartlepool - bit of a trek, couple of hundred since it's a 6 pointer.
Northampton - Good Friday, capped at 900-odd but should sell out.
Cheltenham - Tuesday night, will be about 100-150....!
Oxford - last away game, always results in a reasonable following for us.

Would expect ours to finish roughly the same as it is now.
